Thank You, New Look 6378 and Burda 6764

First off I want to thank all of you for the wonderful comments you left me on my last post. I loved working on that dress and was very happy with how it turned out, so thank you again.

I wanted something new to add to the wardrobe that I could wear out and to work depending on how I styled the garment. I started with New Look 6378. After seeing Andrea's version, I knew I had to have one of my own.

This was also great way to stash bust I had this fabric for a very long time and didn't know what to make with it. I'm so glad the fabric finally talked to me and said this is definitely the garment I want to be.

I apologize for the grainy pictures but they were taken at the end of the night and the lighting was not the best. This was one of the easiest and quickest garments I ever put together and it was all done on the serger. Only 3 pattern pieces were used. I serged all the seams and did a 3 thread rolled hem around all the edges.

The second garment I made was Burda 6764. View B

This version consists of 4 pieces, the bodice front, back, back band and front band/ties. This is another quick garment that sews up in no time at all if you want a cute little something to wear out at the last minute.

About Me

I've been crafting most of my life. I learned how to crochet and sew during my childhood. In 2000 I picked up a pair of knitting needles. In 2005 I started sewing again after a 20 year hiatus. I haven't looked back since. This is my home away from home where I get to share the ups and downs of the more craftier side of me and meet very interesting and crafty people like myself along the way. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I am.
